The stent has a proximal portion in a main segment which incorporates a series of angulated struts and flexible omega-shaped connectors. The distal segment of the main portion of the stent is of a variable design. The distal portion of the main leg is designed to have added flexibility without compromising the expansion diameter of the stent. The distal portion of the side branch segment is designed to offer more flexibility to accommodate challenging side branch angles. The main portion of the stent and its distal side branch portion are connected by a hinge connector firmly joined to both the main branch and the distal branch. This hinge connector is extremely flexible and allows for multiple variations in the vasculature of the patient. The particular delivery system used with this bifurcated stent encompasses a double-balloon system. The first balloon is placed in the main segment along its entire length. The second balloon is placed within the side branch. Thus, when the stent tracks (in other words, is passed) along the artery, the segmented distal portion of the stent is able to fit nicely into the side branch of the vasculature.
